DIY Video Projector Part II

property

my setup is exactly what you are talking about; go to the link on the previous site; the light is use was originally a spot light for theatres...; by the way the picture there has a horrible quality; i will post pictures with real projection quality of my projector this weekend; in addition with my new diy anamorphic lense hehe :nod:
 
Well done

Nicely built slize...So that type of projection lens mechanism would allow for a longer thow distance right? i mean distance from projector to screen (of course depending on type of lens) right?

Also the picture you took of the screen seems a little dim, especiall for 400w as compared to some of the pictures i've seen of OHP systems....Is it just the camera u used or is that a by-product of using this type of projection lens?
 
projection equiment for sale cheap!!!!!!

I'm selling my projection equipment you get a 4 inch partsexpress lcd only half of the screen works tried to extend one of the ribbon cable did'nt work.

Next the 5 inch Sony Psone lcd screen it works but i cant get o picture to come up, the backlit is removed, power supply included.

Fuginon tv projection lense nothing wrong with expect a little dust.

All for a cheap price of $40 i don't know what you can do with it, it's getting in my way and i'm tired of looking it please somebody take it off my hands.

Heres a screen I made that works great, take a acrylic sheet from lowes and stick some white or translucent cloth behind it then you set try it
 
re screen idea

ok with the screen idea of using perspex, im not sure if u would loose light with it and may i sugest that cleaning perspex is a bummer cos it doesnt matter what u use it scratches to the **** , but anyway on the other hand it would give u a pro look in the day and no doubt look great for moves, but i would sujest painting the back of the screen siler or flat white cos u got the shine on the front of the screen(perspex)

Work Light

Hmm I walk around the home depot store today and found this 500W working Halogen lights. I found some bulb that is around 9,000 Lumens. This might do well for projector light since its pretty cheap. It include a UV filter lens in front. Can anyone tell me will this light work? 9,000 lumens seem like nothing compare to the metal halide bulb which is around 36,000 to 40,000 lumens.

well for $9 buck hmmm..

Hows everybody doing? I have been messin with my projector for the past few weeks and was trying different setups with my 1000W MH light. using foil and other stuff and keeping the light about a foot away from the lcd panel, just out of curiocity i put the reflector back on with out the front shield and put it right aginst the glass behind my fresnal lens and omg it was alot brighter im gonna try to take pics of this when i get my digi cam back.

Hortilux

Have anyone research into the Hortilux lights? It seem to be much brighter than the metal halide. It said to produce high spectrum of light similar to the sun.... a 400W bulb can light up to around 60,000 lumens. Anyone know if this bulb is too hot for the projection project? ..........
 
LED ..... LED AND MORE LED

HEh well it seem like everyone gave up on LED as light source... Well maybe this info will help you people understand more about the LED light.

http://www.lumileds.com/pdfs/techpaperspres/SPIE2001.pdf

It seem that it said that combining the R G AND B color LED together will produce higher lumens. Hmmm well it say that it is use as backlight for lcd. Maybe this will give some hope into making LED as light source.

:idea:
 
Problem Solved!

I believe I've come up with a simple solution to solve any and all heat problems with any type of bulb....

Submersible Light Fixtures!

The kind they use to put lights under swimming pools, ponds, even aquariums....

That way we can forget about a "water cooling system" and just place the hole damn thing in a a tub of water (not the front lens of the fixture of course...we don't want the light to shine though water...or do we...pum pum pummmmmm)....

Of course there is a slight weight issue...But a draining valve can easily be made...and there is a leakage issue....but some kind of gutter drain can be incorporated to protect vital components from getting soaked....

thank you
